I interest in skin was piqued during middle school. As I grew older I become more fascinated by the study of disease that can affect the skin , and how they interact with layers of skin to result in symptoms that often overlap across pathologies . During Med school I become very interested in aging and how the cell cycle affects different population of skin cells , resulting in phenotypes seen as people grow older . I hope the IMCAS academy will expose me to wide breadth and depth of medical / aesthetics knowledge. Additionally , I look forward to the research , where I will be able to dive into the most cutting -edge research in the field. I am confident that a guide from IMCAS Academy  will give me the skills and knowledge I need to become a better medical aesthetician in the future.
